The article, “News Media Walk Tightrope between Online Free Speech and Protecting Advertisers” (Montana Journalism Review 2016), stated that Billings Gazette Editor Darrell Ehrlick declined to say if the paper has a policy about removing comments on stories that may reflect poorly on advertisers. Rather, he did point to the Gazette’s general, posted policy for commenters, which makes no mention of advertisers. The article was revised accordingly.
